Nile, and until we do not fulfil that tradition, the river does not flow. He asked: What is it? They said: We take a virgin girl from her parents, adorn her with fine clothing and jewellery, and then throw her into the Nile. Sayyiduna ‘Amr Bin ‘Aas رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ عَـنْهُ said: This can never occur in Islam; Islam abolishes such meaningless ancient customs. Thus, that tradition was prohibited and the current of the river began to decrease, to such an extent that the people had intended to leave that place. After seeing this, Sayyiduna ‘Amr Bin ‘Aas رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ عَـنْهُwrote down the whole situation and sent it to the second caliph, Ameer-ul-Mu’mineen, Sayyiduna Umar Bin Khattab رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ عَـنْهُ. In response to this letter, Sayyiduna Umar رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ عَـنْهُ wrote: you did the correct thing. Indeed, Islam does away with such customs. There is a piece of paper in this letter, place it into the River Nile. When Sayyiduna ‘Amr Bin ‘Aas رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ عَـنْهُ received the letter of Ameer-ul-Mu’mineen رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ عَـنْهُ and took out that piece of paper from the letter, it was written: O River Nile! If you flow of your own accord, then do not flow, but if Allah Almighty has caused you to flow then I supplicate to Allah Almighty that He makes you flow. Sayyiduna ‘Amr Bin ‘Aas رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ عَـنْهُ placed this piece of paper into the river, its water level rose by 16 yards overnight, thus, this tradition was completely eradicated in Egypt.
